Detailed Description

The sky brightness is computed with the SkyBright class, the color with the SkyLight. Don't use this class directly but use it through the LandscapeMgr.

Member Function Documentation

getAverageLuminance()

float Atmosphere::getAverageLuminance ( ) const

inline

Otherwise it includes the (atmosphere + background starlight (0.0001cd/m2) * eclipse factor + light pollution.

Returns

the last computed average luminance of the atmosphere in cd/m2.

getRealDisplayIntensityFactor()

float Atmosphere::getRealDisplayIntensityFactor ( ) const

inline

Returns

the display intensity ranging from 0 to 1

setAverageLuminance()

void Atmosphere::setAverageLuminance

(

float

overrideLum

)

This is for special operations only, e.g. for scripting of brightness-balanced image export. To return to auto-computed values, set any negative value at the end of the script.
